Launched this summer, Edible Los Angeles is a quarterly magazine that celebrates the abundance and variety of local foods in the greater Los Angeles area. Like Slow Food, Edible Los Angeles and its sister publications believe that our food choices do make a difference–to our health, to the health of our planet, and to our enjoyment of life. With that in mind, Edible Los Angeles brings you news of our region’s family farmers, brewers, food artisans, chefs, home gardeners, and others who have a dedication to producing and using sustainably produced local foods. Stories and images in every issue show readers what’s happening right over the back fence, or within a day’s drive from home. The magazine is also for those who are interested in preparing and eating delicious locally grown seasonal foods, helping readers get to know the people who grow, produce, cook and or sell those foods.
